The funny thing about stem cell treatment, the placebo patients in one experiment that had the surgeries, but nothing was implanted, had very good results.  Their PD symptoms were greatly reduced for over a year!  However, many of the people that received the implants had ghastly side effects: violent movements like dyskinesia, the implanted cell developed into teeth and optic tissue.  The Parkinson's researchers feel that stem-cells will not yield good results.  If a body is determined to induce dormancy in its own dopamine cells, it would eventually extinguish it in other introduced cells unless those cells are growing out of control, causing violent symptoms of dopamine excess.  The younger researchers acknowledge many PD symptoms are not dopamine related.

As to Bush accepting anti-science, the scientific community is extremely tight.  If anyone, even one of their own comes up with a differing theory, they are not listened to.  The grants and money are where it is.  In this case it is that dopamine is the answer, whether it is or not. They will let the PDs live or die by their decision. So anyone that goes against their plan, is anti-science, even if the anti-science is very scientific, done by PhDs, Mds and whatever.
